Corey Haim Passes To The Other Side

At 8:47am EST my phone was buzzing with a text message from someone out west; it read: Corey Haim found dead this morning in LA. Wasn't he in your movie??

Yes he was.

I was taken back having working very closely with him during the production; I am sad for his family; and I am sad for his fans. So shocking considering his life long battle with drugs, and his apparent recent getting it together. It's exceptionally sad when someone so young dies...well before their time.

I had the opportunity to not just work with him, but speak to him on a personal level during the shoot some 10 years ago, and he was full of energy and brimming with spirit and dreams. Constantly searching and shooting for that comeback, and hoping that "this" --whatever moment he was in--would be that critical moment.

We are sad to see him go, and glad that we have a piece of his soul on record for all of time in his self professed 30th film.

Funny to note that Corey was the one who dubbed me 'Deep; and it's been my nickname ever since. Near the end of the production I traded him my blue Hard Rock Cafe hat (he's wearing it in some promotional footage for a golf tournament that he participated in some time ago) for a yellow and black checkered shirt of his--I still have it...my timeless memory of the production from the months our lives were intertwined.

I remember the first time meeting him in a restaurant with Judy trying to convince him to join the project; I remember the first time I picked him up to take him to the production meeting--cleverly running out of gas; and I remember seeing The Lost Boys in a pre-screening in Dorval with a bunch of friends in '86 never even crossing my mind that I'd end up working with Corey one day.

There are many fond memories of the production, and this '80s heart-throb by myself and yourselves. No matter what anyone has ever said of his career, his comeback, his successes and his failures the world has proven time and time again that everyone wanted to talk about Corey Haim, and everyone wanted to know what he was up to.

He will be missed the world over.

To The Fans: Please know that the film is truly complete, and has been since 2008. In an effort to meet the needs of everyone who's written in, and who's shown support of the film, and our tribulations I'll get it out to you somehow.
